2023 first made sense to me in 2013. At that time, I applied for a passport to study abroad as an exchange student in the US. When I examined the newly printed passport on my hands, I noticed the expiration date was 2023, ten years later. “2023 is so far away,” I thought. “I must have done a lot by then.”
